Mentoring

Help individuals succeed One Step At a Time

Did you know that people who have MENTORS when they get out of prison are much less likely to go back?

Re-entry Mentors help men and women transitioning out of prison to become self-sustaining in the community. Our volunteer mentors make a real difference by:

• Building relationships with men and women who need a second chance.
• Reducing the likelihood that people will return to prison by helping them to develop life skills.
• Increasing public safety in the Tucson/Pima County area.

Mentors come from all backgrounds and possess a variety of life experiences. They are men and women of all ages, both faith based and non-faith based, who want to offer non-judgmental support.
